| Core Tip |
Over-the-scope-clips (OTSC) are effective and safe for closure of gastrointestinal perforations, leakages and fistulae. There is growing evidence that OTSC? can be applied for the closure of gastro-cutaneous fistula after percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube removal. In this retrospective single-center case-series we report on five middle-aged patients with multiple comorbidities undergoing OTSC closure of chronic gastro cutaneous fistula after PEG tube removal. The mean dwell time of PEG tubes was 808 d. Successful immediate and long-term fistula closure was accomplished in all five patients. OTSC? is a promising treatment for this condition with a high immediate and long-term success rate. |
